Overweight trucks do a great deal of damage to our road and bridges. In fact as reported in USATODAY investigators believe that overweight trucks contributed to the bridge collapse last summer in Minneapolis that killed 13 people.

Overweight trucks or tractor trailers also cause crashes and wrecks that seriously injure and kill people. Because the trucks are overweight they are harder to drive and take longer to stop. Also, it is just a simple law of physics, that when a truck is heavier and it crashes into a car the overweight truck will cause more damages and injuries.
